Joshua Franco faces Andrew Moloney for the third time on Saturday, in the main event of a Top Rank on ESPN card at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tulsa, Oklahoma (ESPN, ESPN+, 10 p.m. ET).
Franco (17-1-2, 8 KOs), 25, of San Antonio, Texas, won the WBA "regular" junior bantamweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Moloney (21-1, 14 KOs), 30, of Australia, in June 2020. In a rematch last November, Franco suffered a bad cut over his right eye and the fight was ruled a "no contest" because the referee ruled it had happened by an accidental head-butt, and the fight hadn't gone long enough for an official decision.
